Lead the program that makes every day meaningful.
Providence Place Senior Living is hiring a full-time Connections Activities Coordinator for the Memory Care Neighborhoods at our Lancaster campus.

- Create and lead a balanced monthly calendar of programs and events for residents with dementia
- Lead, train, and coach Activities Associates — you set the tone for the whole program
- Build community partnerships for volunteering, intergenerational programs, and resident-led activities
- Keep residents active, mentally and physically — Dakim Brain Fitness, the Biodex exercise bike, games, music, and more
- Transport and accompany residents on outings and community events in company vehicles, including our 14-passenger bus
- Serve food, drinks, and snacks during activities — hospitality is part of the fun
- Keep it running behind the scenes: activities software and TV calendars, volunteer information, and monthly reports
- Partner with the Executive Director and every department on campus to make the program a campus-wide effort

- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and no major violations (you’ll drive residents on outings)
